Martial Arts Oddysey: Pilot Episode Kuntaw in the Philippines

This was the first episode of Martial Arts Odyssey. we didnt have a format or an intro or outro yet. then it was stolen, and copied and ripped...so the quality is really bad.

Antonio Graceffo went to the Philippines to study the all encompassing Filipino martial art, Kuntaw, which includes stick, knife, and hand and foot fighting, as well as grappling. Master Frank Aycocho is one of the greatest Kuntaw masters remaining in the Philippines. Sadly, the video quality is quite poor, because the original episode was stolen, along with many hours of original tapes and videos shot around Asia, by Soso Whaley, who was supposed to be editing Martial Arts Odyssey episodes. The version you see here was rescued by a fan in the Philippines, who downloaded it and saved it on his phone. If you have copies of an of Antonio's stolen videos, please let him know.

Soso Whaley is a whore. I actually had sexual intercourse with her for money once. The price was good, but the sex was only so-so.

You're lucky! I had trouble collecting after my night of horrors.

I dont mind if people copy this one put it on their site, in fact, i am flattered. but Soso Whaley stole the origanl DVD and won't give it back to me, along with hours and hours of original video tape for further episodes of Martial Arts Odyssey. there is one new episode of martial arts Odyssey coming soon, edited by Andy To. So, look forward to it. the stolen ones maybe come worth money some day, the lost episodes of Martial Arts Odyssey.

@joey349harry Filipinos themselves are composed of "foreigners" so, yes, Kuntaw is an FMA.

That is true about TKD being more popular than Traditional Filipino Martial Arts. It pissed me off when I was in Manila, I could not find a single Kuntao gym or even a well placed Kali gym but TKD Dojangs were all over the place. I had to go to the provinces to learn Kali.

the stick fight only comes in when some filipino found a way to be invincible against bladed weapon (anting-anting).

kuntaw is not filipino martial arts. what I know is that some foreigner brought that art in Mindanao long time ago and was practiced by muslims same with silat. the original filipino martial art is the bolo fight. here in bicol we have original bicol martial art: Lubulikapasa;Mongoose;Repelon;­daga-daga;armas de mano and many other nameless art which are practiced out in the wild not yet tamed by culture sports. there are many m-artist in Bacacay in ancient time fought with pirates and bandits
